Skiing and a Quarter-Gigaklik
So, Markus got me out skiing tonight. It was really, really cold, at 25
below zero without windchill. Naturally, while skiing, one produces ones own
windchill as well. We went out to Camp Fortune, and I think this was the
first time I have ever night-skied. It was good fun, I got to try those
little short skis called snow blades and they were refreshingly different.
At one point, one of my feet got so cold I could not feel my big toe, and
the feeling only came back after about 5 minutes of thawing it; scared me,
but everything turned out okay. To fix this freezing flesh problem, on the
way home, I stopped by Carleton to warm up in the sauna. Long story short, I
think every ski resort should be mandated by law to have a sauna. It was a
good evening.
On the way to the ski hill, my car surpassed the 250,000km mark. That can be called 250 mega-kliks or a quarter giga-klik. Still considering what sounds better. I am aiming for it to pull through to 300,000.
